Testimonials from clients and colleagues
of John Levy Consulting

[John is] an associate who would be very useful for a start-up high tech company who needs to develop some rigor behind their R&D effort. John has exceptional experience in this area and could benefit a start-up tremendously. Not only does he have great experience, but he is very approachable and personable.

Harry C. Chapman, CMC, Principal, Bay Area Consulting Group

I have been privileged to see John at work advising my team, which was dealing at the time with a high-stake, high-stress situation. I discovered that John has an uncanny ability to redirect an organization towards results by re-focusing its leaders on processes as well as on human interactions. A conceptual thinker with an engaging personality, John is able to get high-power teams back on the right track with renewed enthusiasm.

Jean-Dominique Savelli, Director of Marketing,
Consumer Electronics Business Unit, Quantum Corp.

John consulted for me while I was VP-Engineering at Pure Digital Technologies, Inc.. We worked together on improving the product development processes and streamlining responsibilities within the Engineering department. He is at ease with executives at all levels and coached me and my team on restructuring the product creation process to be sustainable for the long term. He also helped me identify and select key technologies for patenting by individual and group meetings with our engineers. I would not hesitate to engage John again as a consultant or to hire him.

John Furlan, VP-Engineering, Pure Digital Technologies, Inc.

John’s team [Systems Engineering at Quantum] was highly influential in improving product design, performance and future product road maps. One of the team’s major successes was being the champion of the widely adopted Ultra-ATA/33 disk drive interface which significantly improved the performance and system-level reliability of desktop disk drives.
…
John’s vision, leadership and strong team cooperation were instrumental in producing a successful outcome from [Quantum’s strategic initiative in 1996]. This project defined for Quantum many aspects of a future that has now been realized, including the digital video recorder, many months before TiVo and Replay were started.
…
John has been a very effective consultant and manager…. I would not hesitate to engage him again as a technologist, coach for engineering managers, or product & technology strategist.

Joel Harrison, Co-Founder, Quantum Corporation

[John’s] style … is engaging, thought-provoking and informative.
